One Piece: Lost in the Tutorial #75

After cuffing Kiera with the seastone cuffs, Shachi winced in pain as he sat down on the ground, holding his side. "You really did a number on my ribs," he said through gritted teeth.

Kiera looked at him and spat on the ground. "I would've done more if it wasn't for your buddies here..."

Penguin groaned while Bepo tended to his wounds. "What more could you do after beating us up so badly, lady?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and exhaustion.

Kiera scoffed. "Luckily for you, you don't have to find out... thanks to your buddy's ability to melt the ground beneath me and all that debris chasing me around..."

Double Six limped over to Kiera, holding his injured thigh, pierced by a bullet. "Seriously, though, did you really not get me anything?" he asked in a sad tone, his expression almost comical despite the pain.

Kiera merely looked at him in bemusement, rolling her eyes without saying anything.

Shachi sighed as he slowly stood up, still holding his side. "Right then... let's get out of here. We should take her to Law and see if he needs help with that other fellow," he said, grabbing Kiera's shoulder and pulling her to her feet.

Penguin gave him a strange look. "I still think we should put a bullet in her and get it over with..."

Shachi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "We're pirates. People will try to kill us. Get over it," he said before turning his gaze to Kiera. "Normally, I'd agree to put a bullet in her head, but apparently our great captain Blake owes her father or something according to Law..."

Kiera's eyes flickered with a mix of surprise and disdain. "You think your sense of loyalty will save you?"

Shachi smirked. "Not really. But it might save you. Besides, we could use more information about what's coming our way. You clearly had someone helping you to find us..."

Double Six nodded, finally managing to steady himself. "And maybe, just maybe, you'll realize our captain ain't such a bad guy after all."

Bepo finished bandaging Penguin and stood up, looking determined. "We should move quickly. Law will want to know what's happening."

...

Meanwhile, the battle between Drake and Law raged on, growing more intense with each passing moment. They had already moved into the hospital building, toppling half of it, as Law danced around Drake's gigantic body, now fully transformed into his Zoan form.

Law used his devil fruit powers to teleport to Drake's blind spots, striking with his blade, but only managing small nicks and scratches due to the toughness of Drake's scales. Drake's body was covered in bleeding cuts, but he remained undeterred. Law, despite only taking two hits, was severely injured, with a broken left arm and multiple fractured ribs. It was a stalemate, a clash of speed and cunning against brute strength and resilience. Both combatants knew the fight would soon reach its climax.

Drake gnashed his teeth, glaring at Law. "You're like a little fly, flying all over the place..."

Law smiled and shrugged. "I wasn't just flying, and you know it... I've been hitting you where it hurts the most, making you bleed buckets..." He trailed off, sighing. "And yet you're still standing. You're no dinosaur... you're a damned cockroach."

Drake roared in anger and charged, his massive form shaking the ground with each step. Law dodged and teleported behind him, swinging his sword at the back of Drake's neck. The blade made contact but only left a shallow cut. Drake whipped his tail around, smashing it into Law and sending him crashing into a wall.

Law coughed up blood but quickly regained his footing, using his devil fruit power to teleport out of the way as Drake's massive jaws snapped shut where he had just been. Law appeared above Drake and brought his sword down, aiming for Drake's eye. Drake raised his arm to block, and the blade cut into his thick scales but didn't reach his flesh.

"ROOM!" Law shouted, creating a sphere around them. He vanished and reappeared behind Drake, slicing at his leg. Drake stumbled but quickly regained his balance, spinning around to swipe at Law with his claws. Law ducked and teleported again, appearing above Drake and aiming another strike at his head.

Drake growled and swatted at Law, but Law teleported out of reach. "Takt!" Law called, using his power to lift debris from the ruined building and hurl it at Drake. The debris smashed into Drake, but he shrugged it off and charged at Law again.

Law teleported to the ground and swung his sword at Drake's legs, trying to bring him down. Drake roared in pain as the blade cut deeper than before, and he fell to one knee. Law seized the opportunity and teleported behind Drake, aiming his sword at the back of Drake's neck.

Drake spun around with surprising speed, his massive tail smashing into Law and sending him flying across the courtyard. Law hit the ground hard, gasping for breath as he struggled to stand. Drake lumbered toward him, eyes filled with rage.

"You're tough, I'll give you that," Law said, panting. "But I'm not done yet."

Drake smirked, baring his teeth. "Neither am I."

They charged at each other again, their attacks becoming more desperate and brutal. Law teleported around Drake, trying to find a weak spot, while Drake used his massive strength and durability to try to crush Law. The hospital building crumbled around them as their battle raged on, the ground shaking with each clash.

Drake swung his claws at Law, but Law teleported behind him and slashed at his back. Drake roared in pain and spun around, his tail whipping through the air. Law ducked and teleported again, appearing above Drake and aiming a strike at his head. Drake raised his arm to block, and the blade cut into his thick scales but didn't reach his flesh.

Law landed on the ground and created another ROOM. He vanished and reappeared behind Drake, slicing at his leg. Drake stumbled but quickly regained his balance, spinning around to swipe at Law with his claws. Law ducked and teleported again, appearing above Drake and aiming another strike at his head.

Drake growled and swatted at Law, but Law teleported out of reach. "Takt!" Law called, using his power to lift debris from the ruined building and hurl it at Drake. The debris smashed into Drake, but he shrugged it off and charged at Law again.

Law teleported to the ground and swung his sword at Drake's legs, trying to bring him down. Drake roared in pain as the blade cut deeper than before, and he fell to one knee. Law seized the opportunity and teleported behind Drake, aiming his sword at the back of Drake's neck.

Drake spun around with surprising speed, his massive tail smashing into Law and sending him flying across the courtyard. Law hit the ground hard, gasping for breath as he struggled to stand. Drake charged toward him, eyes filled with murderous rage.

"You damned cockroach..." Law said, grunting in pain. "Let's end this..." He slowly stood up, sheathing his sword and taking a quick draw stance.

Drake growled, gnashing his teeth. "Give it your all!"

As Drake charged, the ground trembled beneath his massive weight, each step echoing like a drumbeat of impending doom. Law stood his ground, eyes narrowed, poised in a quick draw stance. When Drake lunged, mouth wide open, teeth gleaming and ready to crush him, Law disappeared in a blur of motion, reappearing just a short distance away. His foot pivoted with precision, leaving an imprint in the dirt as he surged forward, drawing his sword in one fluid motion.

The blade flashed in the dim light, slicing deep into Drake's scales with a sickening sound. Drake roared in pain, the guttural noise shaking the very air around them. Blood trickled from the wound, but Law was far from finished.

With a swift, practiced movement, Law vanished again, reappearing high above. His form shimmered in midair, a testament to his waning energy, before the surroundings blurred and vanished completely. "Geppo!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the battlefield as he kicked at the air, propelling himself downward with incredible speed. His body rotated like an electric saw, the sword in his hand aimed at Drake's gigantic form as he descended.
